A Love Like That

"A Love Like That" is a song by Gregg Alexander, released exclusively on MP3 format in 2003. It deals with heartbreak and inability to accept that a partner has moved on, and is the only song in which Alexander has a role as a singer/performer since the disbanding of the New Radicals in 1999. While Gregg's vocals and style on the song are unmistakable, the origins of the track remain unclear. It was first discovered to be charting obscurely in October 2003 on Beyond Radio, an American airplay chart, peaking at #1304, and remaining on the charts into November. It was later found downloadable on the now-defunct site, PicktheHits.com.

Official Warner Music publishing sites confirm that Alexander (with collaborator Rick Nowels) did write a song entitled "A Love Like That" [ [http://warnerchappell.com/wcm_2/song_search/song_detail/songview_2.jsp?esongId=857177900 Warner Chappell Music ] ] . The closing refrain of "Na-na na-na na" is similar to that which opens "Life is a Rollercoaster" by Ronan Keating, which Alexander and Nowels also wrote.

Certain lyrics from the song - "I know I deceived you, I once told you lies/If you don't believe me, just look in my eyes" - appear in the CD booklet for the New Radicals "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" album, interspersed with the lyrics to "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough".
